We asked Metro readers to send in their worst Valentine’s Day dates ever.

After trawling through hundreds of nightmarish accounts, we settled on these ten as the best examples of people being cruelly overlooked by Cupid.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I had dinner with a lovely guy I wanted to impress. I ordered chicken kiev and as I stuck in my fork, the hot butter spurted straight into his eye. He never called me again.

We were supposed to be driving to a country pub for the evening but my date stopped the car, reversed and got out on three occasions during our journey. He told me he couldn't ever drive past a plastic bag by the roadside in case someone had abandoned kittens in it. He is now a detective sergeant in the Metropolitan Police . I am sure kittens everywhere are safe.

I met a cute guy on the train and we decided to go for a few drinks, I thought it had gone well until I realised he had stolen my purse.

I was taken to a Chinese restaurant and my date, who had slightly overindulged at the pub beforehand, ordered sweet and sour pork balls. Instead of even trying to eat them with the chopsticks he just scooped them up in his hand and shoved them in his mouth in one go. If that wasn't embarrassing enough, he started singing 'We are Chinese, if you please’ while pulling his eyelids to the side and placing the wicker basket that had contained the prawn crackers on his head. I shouldn't really have expected anything else from a bloke who chatted me up at a cash machine.

My weirdest date was when a guy took me to Waterstones, told me to sit down, and went off on his own to read comics for an hour. I didn't see him again.

While dancing with my date, I lost my footing on my massive heels, put my arm out, grabbed his shirt and yanked out his nipple ring through his top.

He took me to a Little Chef motorway cafe for a burger and then told me, in all seriousness, 'if only your mum was ten years younger’.

On our first date he took me to a museum for an exhibition on dissections and torture methods in medieval England.

My blind date arrived at the pub and promptly told me that he couldn't come back to my place later because he had gonorrhoea. He then explained that he had caught it on a business trip to Korea, taking great delight in the fact that it rhymed.
